I've done a tasting of the higher end Pinots from this same winery (Vine Hill winery / Cumbre is their higher end label), and I came away impressed. Haven't tried this Gatos Locos which I think is their more mass-market brand, but I might go in for this package at this price.

Although, I'm thinking I'll hold back since the tasting description lists "sappy" which is not something I value in a Pinot.

WTSO has had some of their Pinots under the Vine Hill label for $14.99 which I picked up recently.

After Last Bottle put a hurting on me the past two days, I'm going to pass on the pinot deal. I have a bottle of their Vine Hill Cumbre Vineyard Pinot Noir, but haven't tried it (it also came from Invino). I need to do a Santa Cruz Mountain wine tasting when they have their wine adventure, I hear a lot of good things about the pinots coming from there, and I love a good pinot.

Like the Thumbprint Red on WTSO that you talked up in the Pub? I just don't know if I want 4 of them. I see from the Thumbprint website that the 2008 vintage was 59% Syrah, 21% Zin, 10% Petite Syrah, 7% Cab Franc and 3% Viognier.

The '09 vintage is not listed on their site. Do you happen to have a breakdown for the '09 blend?

EDIT: I just took the plunge but would still be interested in a breakdown if anyone has one.

It might be over. The last wine, which was up before during the sell off, starts with "OUR SECOND MOVING MANIA MARATHON IS ON! Two little caveats, as well: Because we’re blowing these out, there will not be a $25 credit for the last bottle purchased (a small price to pay)." But scroll down to the bottom and there is this, "If you happen to purchase the actual “last bottle” of this offer you'll instantly receive $25 in credits."

I think that was still at the bottom during the previous offerings as well despite the caveat above it. What's in that green bottle - malt liquor?

just checked my last bottle....no notes on the blend... all I know is that I LOVE thumbprint wines!!! I even have my mom hooked on them. Email the winery, I'm sure they can give you a breakdown..... I hope you enjoy them as much as I do...

Vitis.com has a good deal on some nice Riesling: Léon Beyer “Cuvée des Comtes d'Eguisheim” Riesling 2003 for $28.00 each. Free shipping when ordering 3.
I would order some but the Last Bottle sale put me on wine overload.

Thanks for checking, it sounded tasty from the description and your recommendation helped as well. Looking forward to trying it!

You should definitely check out the Surf City Vinters tasting area in Santa Cruz. Vine Hill recently moved their tasting room to this spot. You can park your car and walk between a bunch of different wineries, although Vine Hill was the best of the ones I tasted, but I didn't hit all of them.

Anyone looking for a nicely priced Bordeaux style blend, the WTSO Bell Canyon Red Blend Napa Valley 2009 Estate Vineyards offer is very good. Estate grown Howell MT fruit from one of the "big" makers under a secondary label. I picked up some, and with a proper decanting, it's very good. I believe it will age beautifully too.
